Maybe the fastest BCF/VCF to #RStats DataFrames using #htslib and #duckdb C API. Easily the title of fastest BCF/VCF to parquet convertors in #RStats (no other R options :D). This was motivated, among other things, by the idea of trying out #DuckLake in a familiar field github.com/RGenomicsETL...

What’s in a name? Sask. town looking to find out by selling naming rights to highest bidder | CBC News

The small Saskatchewan town of Duck Lake could soon bear a new name, after its council voted to move forward with putting the town's permanent naming rights up for sale. Mayor Jason Anderson says he's hoping corporations or anyone willing to pay a minimum of $10 million will see the value of putting their mark on the map.

This week, I learned how to create and explore a data lake with duckdb, using its new ducklake extension. It was surprisingly easy to hand over the creation and management of parquet files with larg(ish) tables to ducklake. I loved being able to explore the data using R, python or plain SQL - even within the same Quarto document! https://tomsing1.github.io/blog/posts/ducklake/ #RStats #python #duckdb #ducklake #quarto
